This is trick one. guest systems share the kernel so you are not going to be able to install any kernel modules inside the guest.

GlusterFS is a userspace filesystem which can create network mirrors/stripes etc. While I have not fully investigated all the functionality of GlusterFS, this article will get you started fast and fill in the blanks. Doing this process taught me a little something about Linux VServer and its kernel interactions as well. This process is very short in terms of compile but the steps were spread out all over the place.
